Twilight Sparkle was taught about Christianity two months ago by Fluttershy. Praise! She has been doing well on her lessons and Fluttershy has been pleased at another good sister in christ. Holy love and hymns flourish the air. It’s been a good time in Equestria.
But now there is a problem and a lesson must occur.
Twilight looked uncomfortably at Fluttershy with questioning eyes. She came here today with some questions she has been struggling with and the short fictional creative writing attempt they provoked.
With gracious smile, Fluttershy was wearing her silver cross necklace and had her bible on the table next to her. She looked back and said, “What is it Twilight? Why did you come here to my house today?”
The unicorn looked down. “Um, well I was exhibiting some spiritual doubts.”
“Oh Twilight,” Fluttershy said with concern. She really cares for her friend and wants to make sure she believes the holy truth so they can go to heaven together. “As a good friend I am here to help and keep you on the right track.”
Twilight let a small smile for the glory of fellowship. “Thank you for your support, and I just think you should read this short thing I kinda wrote.”
“Okay, friend.” Fluttershy gave a smile as well. Twilight passed the paper sheet into her hooves.
Fluttershy quietly begins reading:
It was cold. Deathly cold. That's all he could remember.
"Ughh..."
He was alive, but barely.
For what seemed like an eternity, the man named Jesus Christ of Nazareth was hanging on a crucifix by orders of the Roman Empire.
"Ju..Judas.."
Judas had betrayed Jesus. The most terrible level of Hell was reserved for his kind, but Jesus still had sympathy for him.
"He knew not what he had done..."
How long had he been persecuted? Slandered, spat upon, and now left to die upon a giant cross.
"Why?"
He didn't know. Every man has his limits, but he was above anger.
"How could they..."
For his entire life Jesus had tried to teach the world. He healed the sick and fed the hungry, but where had that gotten them?"
"Ungrateful..."
He couldn't help thinking it, but nobody could blame him. He was soon going to give his life for a sick and corrupt people. People that would desecrate the Son of God.
"No more..."
He'd already made up his mind. Such a perverted and gross people must be purged.
"Who will do it?"
Nobody else, he thought.
"Fuck this..."
With a powerful thrust of one of his holy arms, Jesus shattered the arm of the cross.
"Those greedy..."
Another sudden movement and both of his arms became free, stakes still driven into his palms. Jesus fell to the ground with dust settling around him.
"Run."
Astonished onlookers could not bare to move, for what they had seen was nothing short of a miracle.
"Can't say I didn't warn you."
Jesus looked up and shot the crowd a penetrating glare, and his eyes began to glow. Without warning, a massive blast of nuclear energy erupted and decimated everything in its path. Women and men alike, along with the children that they brought with them, instantly obliterated. Nothing was left but blackened earth and a sulfuric stench that could curl hairs.
“Oh my goodness!” Fluttershy shrieked and threw the demonic paper down to the ground. She did not even want to touch it.
Twilight flinched but spoke with naivety, “What is it, Fluttershy? Is it that bad, Fluttershy?”
Fluttershy held back tears at the satanic images put into her head. She felt scarred in a irreversible way. Even the nerve of Twilight to innocently question was offensive to the lord and it hurt. Twilight was really farther off the path than it had been estimated.
She tried to put this in words. “Twilight this is satanic blasphemy for you to write about our lord and savior in this way. He was not a murderer but a lover who spread the grace of God into you and me. Creativity should not be used for such devil work, but instead an erected communion and ode to the glory of our most high light of Israel, and his holy lamb. Writing is then a sacred bond to them that you have betrayed.”
Twilight bowed her head in righteous shame at this instruction. But then she said, “But Fluttershy, this is an expression of the doubts I have struggled with. Why didn’t Jesus do like I accidently wrote about?”
“Oh Twilight, that is a very silly question,” she said with softened eyes of understanding. She is the element of kindness too. “I think somepony hasn’t been reading their bible,” she said mischievously.
Twilight Sparkle blushed at that nervously.
“Twilight, it says in John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
Twilight nodded her head. “But what about Jesus?”
“And Jesus Christ loves you and me so much he wanted to die and get spit on for us. He wasn’t angry or bitter like in that nasty evil story you wrote, it was a work of love letting us crucify him. He knew it was the only way to save us and so that is just what he did. Jesus paid the ultimate price and got resurrected so that we didn’t have to, now he is in heaven and we can too if we do what he says. This is why we must be fishers for ponies.”
Twilght nodded her head again. “Thank you, that resolved my question, I am sorry for that story, and am proud to be a follower in Christ.”
“I am glad Twilight but you still have sinned, remember, and must be punished. “Whoever spares the rod hates their children.”” Fluttershy knows she must be stern with her sister.
“I understand said Twilight.”
Fluttershy annointed Twilight’s face with holy water then slapped her. “You have sinned and been punished in divinity. Hallelujah.”
“Hallelujah. Thank you.”
Then the two ponies hug tight in friendship and forgiveness. The righteous bond has been strengthened with the glory of the lamb. May we walk with the Almighty, amen.
